A former U.S. Postal Service supervisor in Missouri has been charged with stealing nearly 100 checks from the mail, further eroding public trust in an institution long plagued by inefficiency and corruption.
Federal authorities revealed the shocking allegations in a Dec. 26 news release.
Benita D. Randle, 42, has been charged with stealing nearly 100 checks from the mail while employed at a St. Louis processing and distribution center.
According to a Dec. 26 release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, Randle was indicted earlier this month and pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Prosecutors allege that on October 31, 2023, Randle, then a postal supervisor, stole approximately 90 checks entrusted to the Postal Service for delivery.
While the exact value and nature of the stolen checks remain unclear, the case underscores the growing mistrust in an agency plagued by inefficiency and systemic issues.
This case is far from an isolated incident. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has long been plagued by inefficiency, financial losses, and scandals, including the 2020 elections.
President-elect Donald Trump has signaled his intention to privatize the USPS, a move many conservatives view as a necessary step toward accountability and fiscal responsibility.
Since 2007, the USPS has reported staggering losses exceeding $100 billion. In the last fiscal year alone, the agency hemorrhaged $9.5 billion—a sharp increase from the $6.5 billion loss reported in 2023, as noted by Reuters.
These deficits are symptomatic of a bloated bureaucracy that continues to mismanage taxpayer funds while delivering subpar service to Americans.
